Alrito sir. Thanks. I will see if I can apply for passport renewal and and get 10 years passport of i might apply using the same pp. By they way. How does TRV works?
For e.g. If my parents get visa in Jan 2018 till the pp expiry i.e. Mar 2019. So they can travel to canada any time between Jan'18 to Mar'19 despite visa is single entry they will be able to travel multiple times during the validity window or this happens in multiple entry visa only and single entry does not allow applicant to travel on same visa again even though person comes back before the visa expiry? Pls clarify
A single entry (as the term implies) allows only one entry during the entire validity of the TRV. Single-entry visas are usually given for a short duration. For example, 6 months' single entry TRV.
If your parents are issued multiple entry TRVs then it would be 1.5 years' MEV which would allow them to travel anytime + multiple times during that 1.5 years validity

Hi Bryanna, one more query please.
Cover letter is required to be prepared separately from my father and mother or one cover letter from both would work? Pls advise
